Tempest Fury

The clouds turn black, a bruised and heavy sky
A sudden gust of wind takes the leaves up high
The animals scurry on as the birds start to fly
The rain starts to patter like a summer in July

A thunder breaks out like a crack of the whip
Lightning strikes close, it makes your heart skip
A flood slowly rises as the ceiling starts to drip
The roof’s about to collapse like a capsizing ship

The winds take turns howling in despair
The lawn decor’s getting tossed up in the air 
The rain blows sideways as it cuts and it tears
Mother Nature throws a fit of elemental scares

The warm sun is gone, only gray clouds remain 
The silent aftermath leaves only fear and the pain
The effects of a storm that ominously reigned
This tempest leaves its mark like a holy bloodstain
